RimTalk - A Conversation Based on AI

Bring your settlers to life with RimTalk, a cutting-edge fashion that uses Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence to create live and situational replicas for your characters. Gone are the days when exchanges were monotonous and stencil. With RimTalk, each conversation is unique and reflects the current mood, judgment, or pawn setting.

How it works

RimTalk is built directly into Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence to generate real-time replicas. The modification examines the current intentions and actions of the pawn and uses this information to form a request to the AI. The AI then displays a dialog string, which is displayed in a cloud over the pawn's head. This course of events is fluid, giving rise to spontaneous and engaging conversations that are peculiar to the chronicle of your community.

Advantages

Volatile dialog: Settlers’ speech is generated by the powerful Gemini AI, so the roll call is always fresh and curious.

Situational setting: Communication is based on what your settlers do and think, making the exchange more organic and entertaining.

Multilingual support: AI is capable of producing replicas on multiple dialects, allowing for the creation of diverse and rich cultural settlements.

Slight performance impact: AI output occurs in the cloud and API requests are asynchronous to ensure smooth operation.

Customizable: You have the right to adjust the density of conversations by your own judgment, and even jam messages that AI cannot process.

Easy to launch: Just get a free API Gemini key in Google AI Studio and add it to your fashion settings.

How to get started

Sign up for Steam Workshop.

Get your free API Gemini key:

Go to Google AI Studio [aistudio.google.com].

Click "Get API Key".

Write down the generated API key.

Run RimWorld and activate the RimTalk in the list of modifications.

Open the RimTalk adjustment settings.

Insert the API Gemini key in the appropriate box.

That's it! Now your settlers will begin to have unique and lively conversations in their favorite dialect!

API limits (free tariff)

The amendment applies API Gemini from Google with the following free tariff boundaries (as of August 2025):

Cases per minute: 30 RPM

Tokens per minute: 15,000 TPM

Requests per day: 14 400 RPD

These restrictions are more than enough to handle most of the game sessions. The mod is designed to automatically comply with these limits.

Settings

API Gemini Key: Your personal key to access Gemini AI.

Interval of conversation: Regulates how often settlers will try to broadcast. The smaller the value, the more dialog will occur.

Hide original interaction messages: When this feature is activated, interaction messages that occur too often (within the conversation interval) and cannot be processed by AI will be completely hidden instead of being displayed in the original form.

Velocity

Afraid of impact on your game's performance? Rest assured, RimTalk is designed to be non-burdensome. All the complex work of creating replicas is done in the cloud on Google servers. The mod simply sends a request to the AI service and waits for a response. To ensure smooth gameplay, these requests are sent asynchronously, that is, executed in the rear without causing "hangs" or delays in the game. As a result, your PC’s performance footprint is minimal.

Compatibility

RimTalk is designed to be comparable to most other mods. It does not change the basic game mechanics and must not conflict with modes, adding new types of characters, judgments or crafts.

Problem Resolution

Replicas are not highlighted: Make sure you have entered a valid API Gemini key in the correction settings.

Frequent roll call stalls: You may have reached the speed limit. Consider increasing the Chat Interval setting.

API Key Difficulty: Make sure your API key is copied correctly from Google AI Studio without extra intervals.

The mode is tested on the game versions: 1.5, 1.6
